Anyone who peruses the firsthand accounts of Spanish exploration and colonization of New Mexico, Texas, and adjacent regions of northern Mexico soon becomes aware of the presence throughout this large area of people called Jumanos. In the Late sixteenth century, this name was applied to some of the first Native Americans encountered by explorers who ascended the Rio del Norte (the upper Rio Grande) to enter the lands north of Mexico.

Description

In the late sixteenth century, Spanish explorers described encounters with North American people they called ‘Jumanos.’ This book proposes that they were indeed a distinctive tribe, their wide travel pattern linked over well-established itineraries.
